the alternate is yuk but good for the collection

the alternate one i better than the WC gold one, needs some green to break up the gold a bit. The gold one ive got is the qualifying one which is a lot better than any of the others...

Plenty of money to be earnt now that the closer games are starting to be played...

Will post my bets for tonight in the next couple of hours..

results are harder to pick though

results are harder to pick though

indeed... that's why I will probably end up with the figures 0.00 next to my account balance by the end of the tournament. Always worth a crack though..

eng, paraguay, poland, germany all to win, $5 ---> 44.50

draw, paraguay, draw, germany $5 ---> $111

Not very confident...

 

[superkingdave]

Ive got Ger, Pol, Eng, Par as well

i've also gone Poland at 8/11 but that looks as though it'll go **** up

Yesterday I put down Spain, Switzerland, Poland, England, Paraguay to win, for $8 @ 10.64.

Today I got England, Germany, Paraguay, Poland to win, $5 @ 9.05

England rips everyone off, it seems.

Come on it's England v Sweden... bound to be a draw, especially if T&T had managed to take the lead in the other game.

 

[Blaze]

They have to beat them eventually... and they should have today.

If it wasn't so much work, CW Moneymakers would have been great fun during the WC.

The only true sure-thing in football.

yes the kit we had against uruguay was the best

Nah. It was Fat Dave Suker (6) in 1998 & Ronaldo (8) in 2002. Whoever heard of him?!?

Also whatsisname the Bulgarian was joint top with Salenko in 1994 with 6. Stoichkov! (sp?)

I used to respect you.

well if the Argies win and Ivory coast win, i'll get a nice £92.51 bonus, if one of them doesn't win, i'll get about a fiver. Need this win after a bad week so far, my margin is down to about £48 atm

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I'm down to $50 myself, after starting with $25 and being as high as $130 odd.

I've already won $18 on Portugal winning today, and if Argentina and Holland draw and Ivory Coast win, I'll pick up $150. Iran let me down on my other bet.

I also had a go at a long accumulator today. Portugal, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Australia, Brazil, Spain and Ukraine to win, $5 @ 46.92. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.

I'm such a Luddite. I actually go to the bookies to put on my bets.

Always makes me feel about ten feet tall when I go to the counter & say "I think I might have a winner on this one." knowing for absolute bloody certain I do!

Well, you still have to go in to collect the money, so you can make the song and dance about picking up the winnings then, if you feel the need.

 

[superkingdave]

you do?
